Peds & IFT Notes

Pediatrics: include weight (or length-based estimate), caregiver historian, developmental baseline, and guardian decisions. Avoid adult-centric assumptions.

IFT: document sending facility, reason for transfer, receiving facility, what care continued, and clinical necessity for ambulance. Training scenarios only.

Good snippet

Weak snippet
